Ferrari has been back in the Hot Wheels Red Line Club for all of five minutes and Mattel is already throwing a knockout punch: an RLC-exclusive Ferrari F40 with a premium price and tight purchase cap drops August 18. The Hot Wheels RLC Ferrari F40 is listed as a 2026 Red Line Club exclusive, with the sale set for August 18, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Mattel Creations.
Access is tied to Red Line Club membership, so non-members watching the clock that day should expect listings to vanish before they ever see an “add to cart” button. If you remember how fast real F40s disappear when a rare Ferrari auction in Monterey hits the block, the hype level here makes sense.
View Price on AmazonThe model itself is confirmed to feature two opening parts, which is still rare territory for Hot Wheels 1:64 pieces. That moves it closer in spirit to full-scale specials like the Ferrari SC40 that honors the original F40 than to a basic mainline toy, and it partially explains why Mattel is comfortable charging a premium.
Price-wise, the RLC Ferrari F40 comes in at $50 before taxes and any applicable fees, right in line with other recent high-detail Red Line Club castings. The run is capped at two cars per customer, so one account can’t quietly hoover up a dozen and flip them all before shipping even starts.
Hot Wheels has indicated that shipping is expected to start sometime in late November or December 2026, so anyone ordering on drop day is looking at a wait of several months before the F40 lands on their doorstep.
